Thanks! I just don't think I have ever experienced so much loss and bad news compacted into such a short time frame. In a sense, the positive news about Joe has been one of the bright spots in all this

Coolness! Then I will send along the one I am just about finished with!

I think this is a great idea @jaynie! I think it might inspire something a little more focused, and the "new" aspect might also drive a little more engagement, which has been lagging, as of late...

Sensitivity is definitely a gift and not a flaw... but I think you already know how I feel about that whole ball of wax! Happy Saturday/Caturday to you! xo

Nice to see this happening! As I was reading, I thought to myself that I actually feel more inclined to promote Natural Medicine than "general" Hive... perhaps because it's more geared towards

I like it! (the music) Sort of shades of Steve Hillage meets lounge jazz... and something I might well have come across if I had a library of Venezuelan alternative music! I often smile to myself when

One of the things I am increasingly learning is the importance of "mindfully overcoming" to be really what society calls ADHD... I skip around from one thing to another, and even though I am

Interesting... I was always somewhat fascinated by the "BagMan" and his many Rolls Royces! Might just have to check that out.

Heya @jongolson! I have no idea how I missed this one, but you're right on the money with comments and engagement! A number of us have been "preaching" this since day one, bringing testimonials

Welcome back! Currently, the closest thing we have to a "user friendly" front end is the LeoFinance community, which built its own browser/condenser from the ground up... which is great for crypto
